Max After

Max After has a great tutorial this week on motion graphics design and how to create something that looks good.  See the preview pic below or if would like to see a preview video then go over to Max After’s site to see it.

Matt Trunks

Matt Trunks has done another great tutorial this week, this time on making light lines glow in the dark.  I admit that most of Matt Trunks tutorials are in French but you should still be able to follow whats going on in After Effects to achieve the effect.

Helloluxx

Helloluxx did a quick tutorial on something that probably crops up quite a lot in Motion Graphics, that is straight vs. premultiplied alpha channels.  Do you know the difference?  If you don’t go and view the tutorial below to find out!
